Forget Poseidon - Hermes seems to have it in for me. Someone has stolen something while I was in the apartment. :(
I have just moved into a new apartment (more on that later) with a huge amount of help from Emily. We were tired from all the moving and cleaning so decided to have a 30-minute afternoon nap. When we woke up we noticed:
- One of my boots had been moved from 'near the door' to 'blocking the passageway to the door'.
- The front door was unlocked, presumably left that way by us when we came into the apartment.
- Emily's red MEC shoulder bag was missing, including her Nintendo DS, all her games, and a whackload of Pocky.
It looks like, between 2.15pm and 2.45pm, someone opened the (unlocked) front door, saw Emily's shoulder bag on the floor just past my boots, grabbed it and ran. They didn't bother to come into the apartment, else they would have stolen my camera or wallet.
I'll notify the landlady, but I'm not planning to notify the police any time soon. It's frustrating that Emily's DS was stolen, but the odds of the police finding a "red DS with no distinguishing marks" or "some packets of Pocky" are extremely slim.

I think more importantly, they'll have fun finding "a red MEC bag (which everyone owns) with a wombat on it"... :)
When I was living in Bathurst, someone scaled the drainpipe up to my 2nd floor flat and came through our balcony while my flatmate and I were sleeping. Scary. They actually went all the way through the apartment.
